"Pungent, youthful, classic and varietal. Aromas and flavours of fresh red and green apples, grapefruit and fresh basil. There’s a stony wet pebbles soil quality accentuated by acidity and citrus flavours. A lively classic tasting wine with all the energy and power expected from this variety out of Marlborough. Best drinking from 2023 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2023

Refreshing lemon and grapefruit aromas interplay with green notes of capsicum and tomato leaf. on the palate, citrus, blackcurrant and bell pepper flavours fill the palate to create a wine that’s gracious with a deliciously crisp, dry finish. This aromatic Sauvignon Blanc shows classic Marlborough purity, with wonderful acidity.

Our Marlborough vineyards saw a smooth start to the growing season. Winter and spring both exceeded the long-term rainfall average, while settled weather throughout the all-important flowering period aided fruit set. Summer temperatures were ahead of the long-term average, with cooler February and March temperatures supporting a long slow ripening period - perfect for early flavour development and retaining acid levels. Cooler early autumn temperatures allowed the team to pick fruit ahead of the usual vintage timeline.

Juice was fermented at moderate temperatures (14-16Cº) using a combination of classic Sauvignon Blanc yeasts. This ensured distinct varietal definition and fruit purity, and a textural palate. After fermentation the wine was left to mature in tank on light lees to ensure texture and complexity, before being racked, blended and filtered inpreparation for bottling.
